How To Make asian coleslaw (dr. weil)

  • 1
    Discard the outer leaves of cabbages. Cut heads in quarters; remove and discard cores. Slice cabbage thinly or shred in a food processor. Layer the cabbage in a large bowl with the sea salt. Toss to distribute salt evenly and let cabbage sit for 1 hour to soften.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, peel the carrots and grate them into thin shreds.
  • 3
    Drain off any liquid produced by the cabbage and rinse the cabbage well in several changes of cold water to remove excess salt. Taste the cabbage; if it is still too salty, rinse it again.
  • 4
    Add carrots to the cabbage and mix well.
  • 5
    Whisk the rice vinegar, brown sugar and sesame oil together in a small bowl.
  • 6
    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and mix well. Let chill. Garnish with minced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
